bathroom wall inspiration

Do you have tiles in your bathroom or do you prefer a different coating on your walls? Today’s post features both options! Tadelakt (as used in the image above) is a great if you don’t want to use tiles in your bathroom or kitchen. It is a waterproof lime plaster traditionally used in hammams and bathrooms of the riads in Morocco.

The beautiful shiny tiles in the picture above give a totally different effect and atmosphere (tiles and image from Walker Zanger).

I am embarassed to admit I haven’t really read much about Tadelakt, and thought it was some kind of limestone equivalent when I first saw the thumbnail. It looks really cool, sort of “Old World-y” and Mediterranean inspired.
